stop putting v8 engines in fj40's

77-fj-40 · 05-14-08, 09:59 PM

the classics are few and far between you guys keep

complaining about cruiser prices then you cut up a restoreable one for a frankencruiser. do it to a je*p

no one cares about them and there is an endless supply of them

HawkDriver · 05-14-08, 10:01 PM

And who in the fuck are you?

Get outta heeeere with this pointless thread.

nakman · 05-14-08, 10:03 PM

I prefer the 2F 40's, but what do I know. this is kinda chat, though.

ohrly? · 05-14-08, 10:04 PM

Stop buying gassers, diesels are the most awesome LC's

sgirt · 05-14-08, 10:06 PM

My 40 came with an old Chevy 350. It is being restored but with a new Chevy 5.3. Nice combo I think.

fj40forlife · 05-14-08, 10:07 PM

thats why I would have both? 77 2f and 72 v8 =]

jagota · 05-14-08, 10:07 PM

I agree, put a V12 in one. It's much more fun.

bandy rooster · 05-14-08, 10:11 PM

I can really see why you would think this would be tech?...

tag this as useless jargon so when people search they know where to find it

77-fj-40 · 05-14-08, 10:11 PM

the thread may be pointless but the v8 cruisers are getting out of hand buy a chevy

Plowboy · 05-14-08, 10:12 PM

Stop putting on bigger tires
Stop putting the axles under the springs
Stop trying to get tunes you can hear
Stop building real rollcages
stop me, please

Yea......what he said.

krookedpandas · 05-14-08, 10:21 PM

what about an iforce v8 swap in a 40?

That would be the shit....

ohrly? · 05-14-08, 10:38 PM

12 Valve Duramex anyone?

1973Guppie · 05-14-08, 11:17 PM

you are a complete douche.......

Ziffdaddy · 05-14-08, 11:34 PM

I personally like the idea of all stock and classic......but with that said....I think an FJ with a 3 cylinder Ford Festiva engine would be awesome.....can you imagine the work space under the hood!

KingBeeIII · 05-14-08, 11:53 PM

Are you gonna take it with you? Have fun with it. Modify it. Use it. Who cares what everyone does with their Cruiser. Mind you own business. If you don't want a V-8, don't swap one in.

77-fj-40 · 05-15-08, 12:16 AM

keep the responses comming and keep them clean

this is funny I like the anger the v8 ers have I have a

72 chevy

1/2 ton 4x4 love the v8 in my truck

KingBeeIII · 05-15-08, 12:33 AM

For the record, I'm sporting a 2F in my '71. I'll probably put a V-8 in my "Project Someday", my '63.

I have a 2F in mine right now....sourcing a V8 as we speak. And...I'm only 40 minutes from you. Feel free to come slap some sense into me.

BTW, wanna buy a great running 2F, H41 and 3 speed case?

yeah i'm going to put a rocket engine in mine

Spud · 05-15-08, 05:40 AM

Personally I prefer the 2f, & like the idea of keeping it stock...
But, to each his own. If you dont want a Landcruiser with a V8, dont shop for one.

And stop being a Douche!!....LOL Guppie.

My wife said no FJ! · 05-15-08, 05:47 AM

to each his own, that being said, and since the door has been open...I do prefer stock all the way, BUT, just as Ziffdaddy said, ...it would be kind of cool to drop a new Corolla 4 banger in a DD to cut down on the fuel costs

Until the Corolla 4-banger started sucking gas to pull the weight of the Cruiser...
